Actually I'm planning on priming the fuel system and turning the motor over without actually starting it to lube the motor... Hell what do I know... lol

Start it for the first time and let it idle for about 20 min then drain the oil.. Do another oil change and do another in 500-600 miles... Of course using Nissan oil..

Hell, I do the turn over bit when I change oil and also when I installed the oil cooler. Why Nissan thinks 1500-1800 idle at start is a good idea is beyond me. Maybe we all should have a kill switch and crank them for 5- seconds before firing them. lol

New built motor, with new internal parts all working for the first time..

jwick

I tried that too after the turbo install but there was enough residual fuel in the line it fired up anyway

Planning on taking out the plugs and disconnecting the main wiring harness going to the fuel rail.. Hopefully it will not start by doing that...

There is nothing wrong with spacers as long as you use extended studs. Never use other kind. Just because you are an engineer doesn't mean much. I work with eight of them and I would not let them work on my mechanical ball point pen. I'm not saying you are not a good one but when ever I hear " Trust me I'm an engineer " I run the other way. Being smart is will keep you safe, and being stupid..... well we all know these kind of people.

COSMO

I couldn't agree more but to each his own.. jwick is a good guy though.

jwick

you gave your opinion and i gave mine. there really is no place for stereotyping or taking shots. yours is definitely still your opinion even though you stated it like fact. adding spacers adds an additional slip plain to the fasteners and additional moment arm to the assembly. that equates to more stress. stress outside what Nissan calculated for is taking a risk regardless of how much risk it actually is. I'm not comfortable with the risk considering what could happen if you have a failure but each his own. if you have a spacer caused failure on the freeway God hope you don't hurt anyone else. I never said trust me I'm an engineer and I never would.

that would probably do it. you could probably just get away with pulling the coils and not actually removing spark plugs.

chuck and I thought that since we completely removed and blew down the rail, then pulled the fuel pump relay we would be good. damn thing fired up on the first crank. guess you live and learn.

Well after charging my battery it seems it will not hold a charge. When I get into the car the driver side power window chatters until it is closed.. I will disconnect the battery and take it to the auto parts store to be checked.
